Tumut Race 1 - Bellette’s Bulk Bins Mdn Plate
BRAVE XENA (9) is a Saxon Warrior filly on debut for the in-form Luke Pepper stable. Strips fitter for a recent Moruya trial, where she found the line nicely up the fence under her own accord. Is drawn to advantage and can make a bright start. AIRFIELD (4) didn't fire a shot when resuming at Goulburn but has prior form that measures up. Strikes a more suitable assignment second-up and is worth another chance. TRISTANIA (7) was knocking on the door before turning in a poor one at the latest. Better than that and finds a suitable race to atone. BLUE CATTLE DOG (1) was better here last time when sticking on soundly into fourth here. Worth keeping in mind. JUSTBETRYIN' (2) comes through the same race and has Heywood booked. Don't dismiss completely.

Third race start. First start ran last of 9 at Sunshine Coast Poly 2yo Mdn-Sw on May 18 over 1000m, 12 len behind Bourbon County with 58kg at $41. Went for a spell before returning 11th of 13 at Wagga Super Mdn-Sw on January 26 over 1200m, 22 len behind Jenni Divine carrying 57.5kg at $151. Expect he'll find this too tough.

Second run back. First-up after five months 4th of 8 at Tumbarumba Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1200m, 7 len behind Smart Asset with 54.5kg at $6. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at Wodonga 3yo Mdn-Sw on September 16 over 1200m, 13 len behind More Highs On Me with 58kg at $15. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.
